IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Safety Instructions: Rack Mount
Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that
overloading of the circuit might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounting equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Disconnect Device (Pluggable Equipment): The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
• Read and follow all instructions before using.
• There are no user-serviceable components within this device. Removal of the cover from this device may present a shock hazard, and
void the warranty.
• The mains plug is used as your disconnect device. This device shall remain readily operable.
• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Do not overload the wall outlet where this device is being connected. Do not overload this device. Ensure the total load to this device
does not exceed that which is listed in the specifications section of this manual.
• Ensure this device is connected to a properly grounded AC power source. Ensure the device is plugged into a source providing the
required 120V. Do not use a plug adapter that defeats the ground pin of the AC plug.
